Good bad, Saturn makes your mind break in pieces
Good bad, so you cannot find the dimensions
and it will be around these spots that I've given to you
you will know that you'll greet my vapours every time that you pass through this room
pass through this room
walk through my gloom

Daphne you find me

Daphne, when you find me let the blood drive and come alive with me Daphne, symmetry you can't help but admire or rejoice from this

Daphne come as on display will you find a way to draw the curtains of damp around your blushing ambition

blushing ambition...

I found you inside my mind

now you're all that I have here

they can be like the friends and neighbours you will get to appreciate them

I have inside me some strange glow
still enjoying this that's why I made a mess
still enjoying this that's why I made a mess
that's why I made a mess

General CommentProbably Interpol's best song, although whoever put these lyrics in needs to put the correct ones.
It's BEEN BAD, not good bad;
YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU'LL BREATHE MY VAPORS; DAPHNE YOU'LL FIND ME, LET THE BLOOD DRIVE AND COME AN LIE WITH ME;
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT ADMIRE WHAT A CHOICE THIS IS TO BEEN BAD;
Daphne you find me to put you were inside USE THAT FOR MY MEMORY;
It's CONDITIONS, LOCATIONS, FACTS;

General CommentI haven't given this much thought but it just seems like it's about a relationship from the male perspective and he's not taking it too seriously. he flirts and plays with her feelings but isn't serious enough to make it a real relationship. she turns him on and stirs his emotions but he is more playful than committed.

General CommentIt always seemed to me like Daphne is just a fictional character Paul has made up to represent his ideal girl, someone he's looking for to fulfill his needs and desires. In a Pitchfork interview Paul said ,"I went through a phase where I was fixated on girls names that, for me, kind of represented something. So in "Precipitate", Daphne is the character. It was actually more to do with certain female names that were really interesting to me."
Alot of the lyrics are still pretty allusive to me but that just gives you a general idea of what the song is probaly about.
One line that always interested me was "Saturn makes your mind break in pieces." In Roman mythology Saturn is the god of agriculture who represented a golden utopian age of happiness. Maybe he's saying how constant happiness can make you go crazy, you "cannot find dimensions" and he's using this line as a persuasive mechanism to get this girl to "walk through his gloom"
I don't know. Just a thought.

General CommentHe's depressed. He wants Daphne to arrive on his doorstep and come on to him. She's beautiful, quite virginal. An imagined girl. "Vice/coyote" must be about being intensely sexual as a young person. I like the song - not one of their anthemic songs, but still has the surface rock and the lyrical depth.
